Overview
- A 12-person jury of seven men and five women was sworn, with two reserve jurors to sit through the opening.
- Four of the 31 charges were amended to reflect medical evidence, and Paul Doyle pleaded not guilty to the revised counts and to all allegations.
- The indictment lists dangerous driving, affray, 17 counts of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm with intent, nine counts of causing GBH with intent, and three counts of wounding with intent.
- The charges relate to 29 victims aged between six months and 77, after police said 134 people were injured when a Ford Galaxy struck crowds on Water Street on May 26.
- Judge Andrew Menary KC instructed jurors to avoid media and outside research, and the hearing is expected to last three to four weeks.
